Why these cities
Office
Istanbul sits on the Bosphorus, part of the Turkish Straits that link the Black Sea with the Mediterranean and one of the world’s busiest routes for oil tankers.
Türkiye connects producing regions in the Caspian and the Middle East with consumers in Europe, through pipelines and export terminals such as Ceyhan.
Office
London is home to ICE Futures Europe, where Brent crude futures trade, and is a global centre for ship-broking, marine insurance and commodity law.
Many international sale and purchase agreements for oil and gas are governed by English law and resolved through London arbitration.
Office
Dubai is a trading hub for the Gulf, close to the producers of the Middle East and to Fujairah, one of the world’s largest bunkering and oil storage centres.
Fujairah lies on the Gulf of Oman coast, outside the Strait of Hormuz, which gives it a central role when Gulf shipping routes are disrupted.
